Who else lost his Google accounts by Googles accident at 27th of February 2011?


At 27th of February 2011 Google installed a new update and accidentally deleted between 40000 and 150000 accounts. I lost my GMail, Adsense (including all my earnings), Analytics, Blogger and Picasa by this and there was no way to get it back. Very(!) frustrating. Is there anybody out there with a similar experience?

So sorry to hear that. I was not aware of this until I hear from U. It would have been a shock to me ...

Well, I also thought they have enough backups. Google said the problem will be solved within 36 hours. But after 3 weeks I still got no access and only was told my accounts were unknown. There was no way to get my datas back.

But by trying to open a new Adsense account I was told that I already have one. Strange. I could not get it back but I was allowed to delete it in order to open a new one. So I did. Total reset.

Is that true?

I think Google have enough backups to restore all what they have lost.
